JEWISH SCHOOLS IN THE UK: THE APES AND PIGS DILEMMA…….

This was first published in Israel National News, and re-published here with the author’s consent.

The koran, in both its pre- and post-hijra forms needs to be read, with the reader becoming horrified of its incredible intolerance, discrimination, calls for genocide and Jew-hatred. The more you know about it, the less there is to be fooled by the creed’s propagandizing dawa pedlars and useful ignoramuses and stooges.

Koranic and Hadith invocations of violence and murder is one thing, but in my opinion, the inherent Jew hatred embedded in the koran with almost each turned page is the achilles heel to the apologists. It’s something that the irrelevant 1 percenters seek to obfuscate and cast your gaze from.

Dr.Andrew Bostom, an expert in the history and phenomenon of Islamic anti-Semitism, offers a sourced rich article on the same subject as well.

A front page New York Times story published January 10, 2009, included extracts from the Friday sermon (of 1/9/09) at Al Azhar mosque pronounced by Egyptian-government appointed cleric Sheik Eid Abdel Hamid Youssef. Referencing some of the well-established Antisemitic motifs from the Koran already discussed, Sheikh Youssef intoned,

Muslim brothers, God has inflicted the Muslim nation with a people whom God has become angry at [Koran 1:7] and whom he cursed [Koran 5:78] so he made monkeys and pigs [Koran 5:60] out of them. They killed prophets and messengers [Koran 2:61 /3:112]…

The continual, monotonous invocation by Al Azhar clerics of such antisemitic motifs from the Koran (and other foundational Muslim texts) is entirely consistent with the published writings and statements of the late Sheikh Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi-Grand Imam of this pre-eminent Islamic religious institution from1996, till his death in March, 2010. Tantawi wrote these words in his 700 page treatise (“The Jews in the Koran and Traditions,” originally published in the late 1960s, and re-published in 1986), rationalizing Muslim Jew hatred:

JEWISH SCHOOLS IN THE UK: THE APES AND PIGS DILEMMA

Manfred Gerstenfeld

Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi of the British Commonwealth has recommended that Islam be taught in Jewish schools in the UK. This follows a decision obligating British schools in the framework of religious studies to teach two faiths.1

The chief rabbi’s proposal raises many questions. Jewish children are taught the Ten Commandments from an early age, which explicitly forbid murder. How are teachers at Jewish schools going to explain that leading Muslim religious authorities issue fatwahs (religious legal decisions) to murder certain individuals. A case in point is the fatwa issued in 1989 by Iran’s highest Muslim leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie the British Indian author of the Satanic Verses. This merits to be mentioned in schools as the UK was Rushdie’s country of residence at that time.

Will Jewish schools in the UK teach the falsehood that some Islamists are not Muslims, for instance adherents of Islamic State or Hamas genocidal movements? Even if the spiritual leaders of these movements remain outside the curriculum, many deeply racist statements by other prominent Muslim clerics and leaders will have to be tackled.

Various leading Muslim clerics present a number of evil concepts as integral to Islam. Noticeable among these is the Koran-related view of Jews as pigs and apes. According to Islam, ancient Jews were turned into animals for disobeying the word of Allah. The Koran mentions this punishment in three verses, one of which says, “They are those whom Allah has cast aside and on whom His wrath has fallen and of whom He has made some as apes and swine… (5:60).” Although the Koran says that Christians received the same punishment, throughout history the term “apes and swine” has largely been reserved for Jews, in both Shiite and Sunni traditions, from the founding of Islam nearly fourteen hundred years ago to today.2

The Saudi sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, imam at the Grand Mosque in Mecca (Masjid al-Haram) called Jews pigs and monkeys. He also preached that Jews are “the scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the violators of pacts and agreements, the murderers of the prophets, and the offspring of apes and pigs.”3

Al-Sudais is just one among many Muslim preachers promoting the same message. Many other leading Muslim clerics in the Middle East have also been preaching that Jews are swine and monkeys. The Salafist Jordanian Sheikh Ali Halabi had issued a fatwa against the killing of Jews in February 2015. He changed his opinions after facing intense backlash. In a video released in November 2015 he announced that it is acceptable to kill someone who attacks you, “all the more so when the aggressor is an evil Jew, from among the brothers of apes and pigs.”4

Taking the Koranic text literally means considering Jews animals. The Nazis held similar views, asserting that Jews were subhuman. Will Jewish children be told that the highest religious Muslim authority in pre-war Palestine, the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al Husseini, listed the points of similarity and overlap between Islam and Nazism in detail? He did so in a lecture to the imams of the Bosnian SS unit, which he had helped to set up.5 Will Jewish pupils also be taught that religious leaders of Hamas, the largest Palestinian party, share the views enshrined in that party’s charter, calling for genocide against the Jews and Israel?6

Many other prominent Muslims call Jews apes and pigs. Perhaps the best-known politician to do so was former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi in 2010. A video of this was released in 2013.7 Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) has collected a number of examples of Jews being called apes and pigs in Palestinian media. It has translated numerous interviews and statements by Hamas and Fatah officials in Palestinian media where the same trope is used. PMW have also compiled various cases where Palestinian children call Jews apes and pigs in the same media, particularly during programs where they recite original poetry.8

In 2002 The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated a clip from a Saudi TV show where a three year old girl calls Jews apes and pigs. She is described by the program’s adult host as “a true Muslim.” That host also says, “May God give us the strength to give our children the same education.”9

Some Muslims, on immigrating to the West, bring this hateful ideology with them. In 2014 MEMRI published a translated video of Danish Imam Mohamad al-Khaled Samha, a cleric who has been linked to terrorists in the past. In the sermon he asks, “how can we – or any free Muslim with faith in his heart – accept the division of Palestine between [the Palestinians] and a gang of Jews, the offspring of apes and pigs?”10

There have also been several incidents in the UK where Jews have been called apes and pigs by Muslims and Muslim organizations. The Luton Islamic Center’s website has in the past published on its website that Jews are the “brethren of swine and pigs”11 A British Salafist preacher Haitham Al-Haddad has called Jews “apes and pigs” and “enemies of god.” Haitham is affiliated with the Claystone lobby group, which has held audiences in the House of Commons.12

British schools run by the Tauheedul charity, which has Taliban connections, have in the past invited speakers like the afore-mentioned Sheikh Al-Sudais. In 2010 a BBC Panorama program disclosed that 40 Muslim weekend clubs and schools in the UK use Saudi textbooks. These describe Jews as descended from “monkeys” and “pigs” and mention other “reprehensible qualities of Jews”.13

If Islam is to be taught at Jewish schools in the UK, it seems that there are three ways of doing so. The first option would be to teach a sanitized and thus falsified Islam – which conflicts with what the students see on television. The second option would be to teach the truth, but by rote, without allowing questions. The third option is to teach the mains aspects of Islam to students, warts and all. Teachers will then have to learn to answer questions such as whether the Chief Rabbi, as a Jew, is a pig or an ape in accordance with Muslim texts.

On reflection, the suggestion to teach Islam in Jewish schools may be very astute. It may help those British Jews who still prefer to lodge their heads in the sand understand that Nazi-like anti-Semitic incitement is deeply sourced in parts of the Islamic world.

Hamas Exploits Gazans to Build Tunnel Network
Hamas has a long and storied history of using Gaza’s civilians as cover for its terror activities. Two entrances to a network of terror tunnels, built by the terror organization under civilian homes, are just another example of Hamas’s disregard for the lives of Gazans.
The IDF’s Southern Command, in cooperation with the IDF Intelligence Directorate and the Israel Security Agency (ISA), are working to uncover Hamas’s operational and military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. So far, they’ve revealed and identified significant intelligence – including the uncovering of two terror tunnel openings located in civilian homes, linked to a network built for the purpose of infiltrating Israeli territory and attacking Israelis.

Daniel Greenfield explains Islam 101:

"Every devout Muslim is an "Islamist". Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A "moderate" Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam.

Nothing in Islam exists apart from anything else. While liberals view culture and religion as a buffet that they can pick and choose from, it is a single integrated system. If you accept one part, you must accept the whole. Once you accept any aspect of Islam, you must accept its legal system and once you accept that, you must accept its governance and once you accept that, you lose your rights.''

The 18-year-old Somali Mohamed raped a mid-15y/o girl in mid June this year. The crime took place in a basement of a rented house in connection with a party in Östersund in mid June.
During the party, the girl drank so much alcohol that she was vomiting on the floor and barely could talk or walk herself.
Mohamed, formerly convicted of other offenses, took note of the opportunity. He led the girl down the stairwell and raped her in the basement.

The mayor of the town Oldham by Manchester in northern England is a Muslim, and he recently opened a council meeting with a request to an imam to lead the room in prayer.
Just for the moment, let’s forget about what would happen to a Christian in England who wanted to open an official meeting with a prayer. Assuming, of course, that you could find a believing Christian elected to public office. Even in USA, Christians who want to include prayers in public meetings are increasingly under siege from militant atheists.

Thousands Flee as Iraq Steps Up Airstrikes on IS-held Town
BADOUSH, IRAQ —
Thousands of Iraqis have fled an Islamic State-held town west of Mosul as Iraqi and coalition warplanes step up strikes ahead of a ground offensive to drive out the militants.
Tal Afar and the surrounding area is one of the last pockets of IS-held territory in Iraq after victory was declared in July in Mosul, the country's second-largest city. The town, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) east of the Syrian border, sits along a major road that was once a key IS supply route.
